The location was convenient. Things I noticed was the level of cleanliness in the front enter could have been better. Glass doors looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Also coffee station also appeared it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. In our room our fridge did not appear to be working properly. The shower did not have a door so water escaped.

Sitting in the lobby trying to get work done and the front desk clerk is blasting some TV show on his phone, making it very difficult to be productive, much less hold a conversation.

Convenient but lacking

Comfortable bed and great location, but small room with very few amenities. Got the job done but didn’t feel worth the steep rate.

Room was good enough but definitely showing signs of wear and the sound proofing of the room is bad so bring earplugs.
